Yallwire is super excited to be one of the official sponsors for Willie Nelson's Country Throwdown Tour 2011!

The second annual outdoor amphitheater trek will offer fans an awesome and diverse lineup featuring Willie Nelson, Jamey Johnson, Randy Houser, Brantley Gilbert, Craig Campbell, Lee Brice, Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real.

The nationwide country music tour starts off in Philadelphia, PA on May 27th and runs through July 4th.

Back On The Brink with Beth Brinker, headliner Lee Brice talks about how pumped he is to be on tour with the legendary Willie, being tight buds with the other performers and how he started out in Nashville as an talented songwriter. Check out Part II here to learn more about his hometown, tour buses an his feelings about Dr. Pepper (or Coke?)!

Not only is this tour a sweet spot for performing artists, but the perfect environment for new material to be created with potential to become future hits. In addition to the seven main acts performing on two stages, the Bluebird Cafe Tent will feature six extraordinary singer-songwriters that will perform intimate "in the round" sets throughout the day as well as nightly performances on a specially designed stage during main act set changes. Artists for the Bluebird Cafe Tent will be announced soon.
